Kunkle Is Definitely Running for Mayor

kNo big surprise here, but David Kunkle’s wife, Sarah Dodd, sends word that the man has filed paperwork naming his treasurer. And that treasurer? None other than Steve Wolens, Laura Miller’s husband.

I have two questions about candidate Kunkle: 1) Can he convince the business establishment that he’s their man? And 2) will voters have enough exposure to him to learn that he’s not a cyborg? Kunkle isn’t the best public speaker. If you don’t know him, on first blush he can come across like he just suffered a head injury and isn’t quite sure he remembers how to speak. But if you spend a little more time with him, you begin to understand that he’s just a very careful, thoughtful person.

In any case, what might have been a boring election just got more interestinger.
